I'm much nicer than I seem, we should be friends!

Favorite shows I watched in 2018 – They may have come out a decade ago (12 days)

Posted on December 20, 2018December 21, 2018 by Irina

This was one of my very favorite posts to put together last year! I almost jumped the gun and wrote it early on at least 3 separate occasions but now the time is finally here! I’m a little giddy…

Gurren Lagann – Beauty in the Breakdown

Posted on December 19, 2018December 27, 2018 by Irina

Genre:  Science fiction, mecha, action, adventure, heartbreak in the best way Episodes: 27 Studio: Gainax I don’t know if I can do this one. I finished Gurren Lagann last night and it broke my heart in that delicate and pretty way only the right show at the right time can do. I’m grateful for it….

Zombieland Saga Reminded Me of Something (12 days)

Posted on December 18, 2018December 9, 2018 by Irina

Some of you may know that I’m currently watching Zombieland Saga with my friend Crow. I’ve been doing collaborative episodic posts for a few seasons now with Matt as well and the format is really one of my favourites. If you guys have the chance to do that sort of project, I warmly recommend it….

Irina and Crow in Zombieland (Saga) ep11: It’s Always Darkest Before the Dawn

Posted on December 17, 2018December 16, 2018 by Irina

Here we are, the penultimate episode, and I’m already a little sad. As much as I’m going to miss this surprisingly loveable little show, I think I might miss our after reviewing tradition even more. OK maybe not more, it really is a very sweet show, but just as much! It’s been great! I hope…

Christmas is for Family – Sachiko Fujinuma (12 days)

Posted on December 17, 2018December 9, 2018 by Irina

Last year around Christmas, I wrote about Celty and Shinra because Christmas is for lovers! This year, I’m keeping the love theme going and I’m going to celebrate one of my very favourite anime mothers, Sachiko Fujinuma from Erased, because Christmas is also for families!

Tsurune Episode 8 – Straight as an Arrow

Posted on December 16, 2018December 16, 2018 by Irina

Genre: Drama; Sports; School Studio: Kyoto Animation Guys, when does trolling become bullying? First Tsurune basically mocked me for not using the Other Shu title for two weeks in a row. Now, hen I more or less randomly picked “Another String to your Bow” last week, they have an entire restringing scene with emotional significance in…

Anime Box Office 2018 and What it Means for the Future (12 days)

Posted on December 16, 2018December 16, 2018 by Irina

I’m not exactly great at box office prediction or analyses. OK I’m not exactly great at even knowing what the Box Office numbers are for any given release. But even I know that for an industry to thrive, it must make a profit. Therefore, if we want our beloved animes to hit local theaters, they…

I’m dreaming of a Shiro Christmas – The Significance of White in Anime (12 days)

Posted on December 15, 2018December 15, 2018 by Irina

This is the second blogmas I’m spending with you all. The second time we get to sit down together and just chat over the holidays about nothing and everything. I really appreciate it. It makes the snowy season just a tad bit warmer. It really is a comforting exercise for me to just sit down…

Top 5 Anime Christmas and Movies (12 days)

Posted on December 14, 2018December 9, 2018 by Irina

I have this weird thing. Just the one! I love Christmas. Celebrating capitalism is a big thing for us commi refugees. But I rarely if ever like Christmas specials (or New Years when it comes to anime). As far as I’m concerned, it’s all about those Halloween specials. I really wish there were more in…

What Is the Next Anime Classic?

Posted on December 13, 2018December 2, 2018 by Irina

A little while ago, on a complete whim, I tweeted out the following question: Which current anime do you think people will still be talking about in a decade or two? I was thinking about Eva and Bebop, and trying to figure out why certain titles seem to stand the test of time and stick…

Objectifying vs Sexualizing in Anime

Posted on December 12, 2018December 12, 2018 by Irina

I have a feeling this post isn’t going to do very well. The few times I’ve approached slightly meatier subjects, my readers were generally not that interested. But that’s o.k. This one will be a more for me post. Right off the bat, I might as well warn you, this won’t be a debate. I’m…

December OWLS Tour – Natsume and the Small Miracles All Around Us

Posted on December 11, 2018December 8, 2018 by Irina

I have been thinking about it. I really have. Sadly, I still haven’t found anything better than Nowltsume… I’ll keep working on it. Have you been following the OWLS tours this year? We’ve had a lot of new members. It really is a completely different group from when I started a year ago. I’m starting…

Posted on December 10, 2018December 9, 2018 by Irina

Hello everyone. Irina here!!! I am exhausted. Work has been insane and the lead up to Christmas is keeping me on my toes. Don’t get me wrong, these are nice problems to have, all things considered, but I got to this review real last minute. Thank you so much Matt for putting up with this…

Tsurune Episode 7 – Adding a string to your bow

Posted on December 9, 2018December 9, 2018 by Irina

Genre: Drama; Sports; School Studio: Kyoto Animation It’s like this show is daring me to use that “other Shu drops” title. Mocking my lack of gumption and failure to follow through with my dumber instincts. Why show..why?… Adding a string to your bow is an odd expression which means acquiring a new skill or figuring out…
